Should be a good episode tonight. How lame is that that they are adding a multiple week break before all the finished episodes air? I think its the week after next. Then they're going to run the rest straight through. I say run all 8, take 2 week break, air the rest.
Yeah, they are going to film 6 more. So a 14 episode out of 16 planned season isn't horrible. But, they said they changed the story slightly to compensate for ending the season at eppy 8.
Hopefully, since they're taking a break before that ep airs, they're going to refilm and go back to their original plan!

All the things I've read point to 5 more on top of the eight, for thirteen. Where are you hearing about a sixth?
Lost Producers Working On 5 New Episodes

The Writers Strike is over and the networks are announcing post-strike plans and return dates for several shows. That's great, but the question a lot of us want answered is ... what's going to happen to Lost now that the writers are back? TV Guide's spunky spoiler Michael Ausiello chatted with Lost executive producer Carlton Cuse about the post-strike plans for the series.
The series' planned 16-episode shooting schedule for season four was, of course, cut short by the strike. Lost returned for its fourth season on Jan. 31 with only eight episodes ready to air. Cuse revealed that he and co-creator Damon Lindelof have plans to produce at least five more season four episodes by May. Lindelof earlier told The Associated Press that he hoped to produced eight more eps this season, but Cuse sounds certain that that number has officially shrunk to five.
"... We've found ourselves in a situation where we had eight episodes of story planned, and we're going to try to fit that into five hours of the show. Even though it's going to be very hard to execute, we felt like any less would be doing a disservice to the story we had planned. We really want to give the fans the best possible experience and ending... to Season 4," Cuse told Ausiello.
So that makes 13 episodes for this season, instead of 16. Cuse also noted that there will probably be a four-week delay between airing the first batch of eps and the new ones. What about those "lost" three eps? Cuse said they might tag an extra three eps to the fifth season.
I'm not trying to 'a ha' anybody, I just want to get the exact number down. Whatever the number is, it will end with the finale. One extra show could make a big damn difference to how the story will progress because it means less of the orginally intended material will be squeezed out. The strike has forced them to turn eight episodes worth of story into five, or possibly six as partial has suggested. I wish it were 6 extra.
All the replays that air at 7pm before the new one at 8pm are including the information bubble at the bottom of the screen. I picked up at least two things I never knew watching this info thing during the finale. I'll be recording the replays now too.
Am I a moron for not noticing that Jack's father was in the mysterious cabin in the rocking chair, or did that slip past others as well?
